BLOOM [BrightWin]

Different but Same

 After the chaotic interrogating session with Bright as a witness, Light and Bright are sent home by the police due to his car being terribly damaged. Meanwhile, Win follows them from behind on his motorbike.

"I went out of the tailor's shop because my car's alarm. Those windows are broken and that man was laid on my bonet, bleeding out. "

Bright explains his encounter with the victim.

"Thanks for the ride Sir," Bright thanks those police officers as he gets out of the car.

"No problem, have a good rest Mr. Vachirawit. Today was rough, especially for the kid." The police officer tilts his head towards sleeping Light in Bright's arms.

"Oh, and we apologized for our actions towards your husband, Mr. Vachirawit."

At the mention of his husband, Bright wanders his gaze to where Win is. He sees the motorbike is parked at the usual place and Win is walking back and forth in the garden, talking to someone on the phone.

"Did you get him, Key?"

Win calls one of his men at the Mafia, Key, the hacker. He asked him to find out about Han's current whereabouts.

"Target came back to Bangkok in early April, but he has no permanent location. Target has been moving from one place to another for the past 5 months."

Win sighs deeply, rubbing his temples. His gut was right, so it was Han who's been stalking him.

In late June, Win notices someone is lurking behind him and his family. However, he brushed it off as during that time, he and Bright were having a huge fight each day.

"Keep him on track, don't lose sight of him."

"And send men to guard my son and husband starting tomorrow." Win commands a new task for him.

"Of course Sir, but master will find-"

"I'll talk to him.

One thing that Win learnt about Don's men is that each one of them is brave, skilled and loyal. They do everything to keep Don Mafia safe, it's because the Mafia is their home, their saviour.

Win's stepfather, Toy, might have been doing dirty crimes and illegal killings. But underneath those hideous acts, Toy has actually saved the lives of dying and suffering souls.

Just like how Toy saved Win and his mother. That mobster leader provides shelter, money and food in exchange people work under him: people kill for him.

And for those who messed up, pray for a second chance to be forgiven. Metawin admits he might be a heartless killer, but he is a coward and unloyal. Selfishly, he made a decision that only benefits himself.

He broke the oath, the promises. Will his men that he handled, worked and spent time together for years put a trust on a coward traitor like him?

"Sir, will you come back?" Key's innocent curiosity can be heard clearly.

"It is not the same without you, we're so used to you. Master and Lady, miss you a lot too Sir."

Win gulps down saliva in his throat. The same sadness, the same pain and the same regret resurfaced all over again.

However, apart from those hurtful feelings, a very strong longing has never died down inside Metawin. He lived with the Mafia for as long as he can remember, he got to love and be loved by those people even though it is not the same love Bright had given to him.

The Mafia's love is a family love, his family. The first love who found and fixed him, the love was so warm and he felt secured.

"I-" miss you guys too. Win swallows a huge lump down his throat along with the words.
